In 1991, the first mass in St Brother Albert’s chapel was a Midnight Mass celebrated by Cardinal Franciszek Macharski, who in 1993 laid the cornerstone of the church, which came from the altar of the chapel in the St Brother Albert’s hermitage at Kalatówki. At the same time, a Roman Catholic parish was established and a picture of Brother Albert painted by Mieczysław Pitala was placed in the chapel. In 1996, the first mass, which was also a Midnight Mass, was celebrated in the completed. In 1997, the interior of the church was finished and the chapel was given its final shape. In 1999, a pulpit and baptismal font were placed in the church, together with an altar with a stone brought from the Vatican and a statue of Christ Crucified behind it. In 2000, a tabernacle and a statue of Brother Albert were added to the altar.
